The meaning of Massa in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

mas'-a (massa', "burden"): Descendant of Abraham through Ishmael (Genesis 25:14; I Chronicles 1:30). His people may be the Masani of Ptolemy, having Eastern Arabia near Babylon as their habitat. The marginal reading of the heading to Pro. 31 mentions Lemuel as king of Massa. If that reading is accepted, it would seem that a tribe and probably a place were named from Ishmael's descendant. The reading is doubtful, however, for where the phrase recurs in Pro. 30 (Revised Version (British and American)) it appears to be a gloss.
